Abdul Haris Nasution was born in Kotanopan, South Tapanuli, North Sumatra, December 3, 1918, Tapanuli Men are more into a general idealistic devout worship. He was never tempted to go into business, which could give him a wealth of material. If there are generals who struggle daily to clean water in his house, Mr. Nas was. Veiled hands cut off running water to his house, shortly after retiring from the military Nasution. To meet the daily water needs, the family was forced to make a well Nasution behind the house. The well is still there today.

It's tragic. Nasution had many years of being ostracized and regarded as political enemies of the New Order government. Though Pak Nas himself to be a milestone birth of Orba. He himself almost become victims of rebel forces led by Colonel Latif. Nasution was the one who led a special session of the MPRS dismiss from the post of president Sukarno, in 1967.

Pak Nas, in his old age, moved to tears twice. First, when removing the bodies of seven heroes of the revolution beginning in October 1965. Secondly, when receiving the management-led KNPI who came to his house with respect to the writing of the book, TNI Bridges with Africa, between blasphemy and Hope.

What made him shed a tear? As the originator of the dual function of ABRI, Pak Nas come to feel guilty, the concept is spoken of as the dual role of the military for a very repressive New Order and excessive. Role of the army to deviate from the basic concept, is more a defender of the ruler rather than people.

After the AMS-B (SMA Paspal) 1938, Nasution had become a teacher in Bengkulu and Palembang. But then he was interested in. Military Academy, stalled since the invasion of Japan, 1942. As a cadet, he draws lessons from the defeat of the Royal Netherlands Army is pretty embarrassing. There comes a conviction that the soldiers who do not have the support of the people will lose.

In the Revolution of Independence I (1946-1948), when the lead Siliwangi Division, Nasution draw the second lesson. The people support the military. From this was born the idea of guerrilla warfare as a form of people's war.

Bung Karno admirers in his youth, after entering the ranks of the military, Pak Nas often do not get along and get along with it's first president. Pak Bung Karno Nas considers intervene and take sides in the event of internal unrest in the Army in 1952. He was behind the "Event October 17", which demanded the dissolution of the DPRS and the formation of a new Parliament. Bung Karno dismiss the Army Chief of Staff.

Bung Karno got along with Pak Nas again, then picked it up again as the Army Chief of Staff in 1955. He was named after the outbreak of the PRRI / Permesta. Pak Bung Karno believed Nas as the co-formation of the Cabinet Formation of Work and Employment Cabinet. Both of them did not get along anymore after the liberation of West Irian because of political attitudes that give wind Bung Karno to the PKI.

However, in such situations Pak Nas is trying to be honest with history and conscience. Bung Karno still acknowledged as a great leader.
